The Supreme Court should not do anything based on any ideology or desired results.
The Court should interpret the law and the constitution as it is written. If that enables an undesirable result, then the legislative branch can take corrective action.
Either the Texas law is legal or it's not. It's not the Supreme Court's job to fix the legality of an undesirable result just as it's not their job to decide what an undesirable result is.

- threatofrain 5y agoThe Supreme Court sets its own agenda and relationship with the rest of the branches of government, more than all other institutions. The Supreme Court is traditionally expected to bring clarity to lower courts and follow its own precedence. Sometimes that has meant creating a new legal framework of judgment. To what degree does the Supreme Court fix existing legislation and to what degree do they pass work back to Congress? Also up to the Supreme Court to decide. What textual strategy should the Supreme Court choose to interpret laws? Also up to the Supreme Court to decide.
